I've seen it happen too many times
And just where it starts I don't know
You're travelling steady but you don't see the signs
That tell you there's a fork in the road
And you don't think it's r...
Don't shut me out maybe baby
We should talk about it
'Cause you've got your doubts but maybe, baby
They might be unfounded
Have a little faith you'll make it through
I'd never hesitate ...
So he wanted nowhere to turn
Just the same old yesterday
And you made a promise to yourself
That you were never gonna be this way
And the only thing that you've ever known is to run
So you kee...
Figaro, figaro
Anytime that you want what you need
Close your eyes and say my name
Call on me and I'll be there for you
No matter what they say
Rain, hail or shine
I got my eyes right to the ...
I'm on a red dirt road winding up to a sky of blue
And I left the blacktop back about a mile or two
No more sittin' at home leave the T.V. and the telephone far behind
This life is killin' us a...
Down the drain pipe cross the yard and through the fence
I risked a whoopin' every time I went
'Cause white boys weren't allowed
On the colored side of town
But I was proud to call
That old bl...
It never ceases to blow my mind
It does it to me everytime
Standing here looking at you
It makes me wonder what he was up to
Was he thinking about me
When he thought about you
When God made...
Well I can't believe I'm sittin' here today
Picking on my banjo with a big smile on my face
Writin' new words to an old school melody
Hey there ain't no doubt that God's been good to me
Oh th...
I hit the highway and I checked the time
I see the sunrise and it makes me wanna change my mind
Oh I got it bad
I stopped for a coffee in a nowhere town
A pretty waitress says "Hey what's the f...
She believes in me like I've been trying to do
And she'd think I've never seen the cold
Ever since she came into my life
I've been a better man
Run, run running, I was running scared
Always ...
I can hear the neighbors
They're arguin' again
And there hasn't been peace on our street
Since who knows when
I don't mean to listen in
But the shoutin' is so loud
I turn up the radio to drow...
I had a heck of a time gettin' into my house today
There was a big ass U-Haul trailer in my way
And she was headed for the car ...so I grabbed my old guitar
I got one more chance before she dri...
You spun your web back a Sunday or two
I ain't never met nobody
Like the likes of you
You got me preachin' the news
You turned down my road and decided to stay
And I took a shine to your hair
...
So you're leaving in the morning on the early train
I could say everything's alright
And I could pretend to say goodbye
You got your ticket, got your suitcase
You got your leaving smile
I co...
Time stands still for no one
I know this is true
I've been stuck here waiting
Then along came you
And you gave me back
The love I had
The faith I'd lost
The life I knew
Chorus:
I wanna t...
I thought You knew, guess I assumed to much
I don't know how, but now wheir so far out of touch
And I never planned, to so miss understand
But what you needed, you never asked me to give
An...
You said you needed your space
I wasn't where you wanted to be
I didn't stand in your way
I only want you to be happy
And so surprised am I to see you here tonight
Well, can't you see that f...
You're such a pretty little thing
I wanna put a wedding ring on your finger
Baby can't you see that we were meant to be together
Yeah the joinin' of our hearts is written in the stars
We've...
Go if you wana go, stay if you wana stay
My hearts not a game you can play with and out away
Baby tryin' to figure you out, could make a man go insane
So just go if you wana go, stay if you w...
Yeah, yeah
Ooh it's a love thing

And I'm ready to come on home to you
All the other guys roll their eyes
And don't realize it's what I want to do
It's what I...
